Five years after opening its doors in the California seaside community of Port Hueneme, Passages Ventura continues to thrive. Modeled after its predecessor Passages Malibu, the Ventura campus provides comprehensive, holistic treatment at a more accessible rate, without compromising quality of care.

Passages Ventura has evolved over the last five years, and today it is one of the finest addiction treatment centers in the country. It has treated thousands of clients successfully using a cutting edge detox process and superior one-on-one treatment.

Passages Ventura prides itself on offering a variety of outdoor activities, including a sand volleyball pit and basketball court, in addition to the psychotherapy, detox, and substance abuse counseling. Unlike most rehab centers, Passages Ventura allows you to stay in contact with friends, family, and business associates during treatment.

Passages Malibu began providing addiction treatment in 2001. Passages Ventura opened in 2009, aimed at delivering non 12-step treatment and a continued commitment to one-on-one therapy, the cornerstone of the Passages Treatment Philosophy.

While Passages Ventura offers fewer one-on-one treatment sessions than its sister campus Passages Malibu, it still offers more one-on-one then most treatment centers in the country, which often depend upon group therapy. Each client who admits for treatment is provided with a personally-tailored treatment program, intended to assist them in a full recovery from drug or alcohol dependence.

About Passages Malibu & Passages Ventura:

Father and son team Chris and Pax Prentiss founded Passages Malibu in 2001. Its second location, Passages Ventura, first opened its doors in 2009. The two drug & alcohol abuse treatment centers offer an alternative to the 12 step/AA model of addiction treatment by utilizing a holistic program that focuses on the underlying issues of substance dependency, rather than attributing addiction to an incurable disease.

Both Passages Malibu and Passages Ventura accept insurance and each have earned the coveted Joint Commission (JCAHO) accreditation, which has only been given to 6% of the nation’s behavioral health treatment programs.

Passages Malibu was named the #1 treatment center in the world by Healthcare Global, one of the "Most Luxurious Places to Dry Out" by Forbes magazine, and the Huffington Post recently acknowledged Passages as a center that “caters to a high-end crowd, with many CEOs, entrepreneurs and high-powered professionals among its clients.”

The co-founders are also authors of an acclaimed series of addiction treatment books, including their groundbreaking, flagship title, The Alcoholism & Addiction Cure.
